Not sure why yellow was such a problem for me.

You can't rank those who never played a down in the NFL. I made my own rankings and had him at 21.

I'm no Jones apologist but dead last is laughable.

I won't even give them a click.

Nowhere to go but up at least.

Quote from: Doc16LT56 on Today at 04:21:58 PMI'm pretty sure players have been making these kinds of bets for as long as sports have existed.

The biggest takeaway for me is the need to coach young players to not put all their business out there. There's too much exposure with podcasts and social media. So young players have to be coached to exercise discretion in those informal settings.

We don't need to know all their business. Today it's a simple bet, and it sounds like Jayden Daniels was surprised Nabers made the bet public. Who knows what he'll be talking about tomorrow. How much grief could have been spared for the boat trip players if that photo was never made public? Young players need to learn to keep these things private, and then when they're retired they can share all the war stories they want.

Agreed, Doc. I don't really have an issue with the bet itself. Would people feel differently if it were $200 instead of 10 grand? Because $10k to these guys is like $200 to most regular Joes. $10k may even be less to them. A society that is obsessed with gambling (not just on sports but on stocks, real estate, crypto, art, etc) probably shouldn't be judging these kids for making a competitive proposition bet with each other.

What I think was foolish and unnecessary on their parts was publicizing it. But that's inevitably going to happen more these days with the advent of social media than it did 20 years ago and earlier.

Since misery loves company... it must suck to be a Panthers fan. They traded up for the first pick then chose the wrong guy.

I'm not expecting much from him but have absolutely no opposition to the signing given the price.

Keeping in mind Malik Nabers is only 20, Robinson's being here for a year or two could be beneficial to the young man. Same with other young guys in the room like Hyatt and Wan'Dale who have never had a mentor who has had real success in this league.

But do I think he's going to put up significant production for us? No. I think he's pretty shot. Lots of injuries over the years, and he hasn't had a productive year since 2020. He used to be awesome though, and he could definitely have a positive impact off the field and in camp etc.

Laughable.  The rookies should clearly not be graded - they've never taken a snap.  And I don't see any universe where one could definitively put Anthony Richardson (who played 4 whole games last year) or Bryce Young ahead of him.

Saw a picture of Eli. Said he chose to not go to the Brady roast. He didn't want to do it a third time.
